CABINET-LOCK.

ESPECIFICATIGN forming part of Letters Patent No. 34:4, dated y 1886-Application filed March 6, 1885.

T aZZ whom it 71m concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. MACK, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the city of Norwalk, Huron county, in the State of Ohio,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cabinet-Locks, of whichthe following is a specification.

My invention consists in so constructing a lock that it may be seated inposition within the face of a drawer or other article or thing and sunkeven with the face surface with very little labor other than what can beaccomplished by a bit of the proper diameter, and also in using thefastening-screws of the lock as guides and the proper stop'for themovement of the bolt.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 represents the face of the lock.Fig. 2 represents the bolt of the lock, and Fig. 3 the several partsshown in section.

A. is the main plate, which serves as the escntcheon-face, provided withkey and screw holes. The latter are intended to receive the Serial No.157,875. (No model.)

prevent the key from turning independently therein.

The parts are so formed and arranged as to be capable of being insertedin proper position by boring at single round hole with a bit or otherdevice for boring, of a depth sufficient to receive and retain the mainbody in position.with its face even, or nearly so, with the surface ofthe drawer, door, or other article to which it may be applied,requiringonly,in addition,the proper cutting for the angular part of the lock andthe space within which the bolt operates.

Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

A cabinet-lock consisting of a single plate serving as an cscutcheon andframe, a bolt provided with a key-opening and two circular guide-slots,and two screws which serve to secure the several parts in position andact as stops for the throw of the bolt, substantially as herein setforth.
